I have a made who had a D3 and he'd had it for about 4 years when I mentioned something about the middle row cup holders, he said that they were too big and were for bottles. after a moment of me saying they weren't and him saying they were he decided to prove the point and show me. He promptly placed a can in the door bottle holder and turned around all smug. I then remove the can and pulled out the cup holder tray, at which point he explained that he never knew they existed!

Glad to see that nobody reads the manual on your side of the pond either. I agree...finding the 'nad air vent was a refreshing surprise.

I have only one cd but I think it has over 200 tracks on it in MP3 format , don't know for sure never managed to play them all, what's more I can select any one of them via voice control i.e. pull voice control switch on steering colomn and say,"cd play disc one/ track 96", even when the radio or cd player is not switched on, try it and see.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Wow, didn't know that I could play mp3's in it... definitively got to try this.
Sadly, I don't have the phone module, so no voice control, will try to scream hard at it
Cheers,

2 new ones for me today...
2 new discoveries for me today, all because I actually read (some of) TFM...which is clearly a terrible fail in terms of 'man rules'! Am now able to turn the screen off on the GPS after 2 months of ownership, and found out I do indeed have power fold mirrors. Must try harder to learn stuff about this car, it keeps surprising me (in a good way so far!)....love it.

"Phone, Redial"
"Confirm Yes or No"
"Yes"
I think the green paddle twice/held trick will be quicker.
